I came across this recipe for a blueberry crisp with an amaretti cookie topping in Food & Drink magazine and knew that I would have to try it. The combination of almonds and blueberries sounded really good. The fresh local blueberries have been calling my name and this seemed like a great way to use them. The blueberry crisp was super easy to make and it turned out great! Hot blueberries sitting in a pool of melting vanilla ice cream is just so good! The almond flavours worked well with the blueberries and I really liked the texture that the amaretti cookies gave the topping. I will definitely be making this one again! I must confess that it was so good that I could not wait for dinner the next day and had some right out of the fridge for breakfast with some vanilla yogurt.

Hi Kevin, Sorry I've been away from your blog for a while, and what an aray of dishes I missed! I just went through my reader and although I can't comment on each and everyone I missed, I have to say your berry dishes look amazing along with everything else! Immpresive Kevin!

Just look at that colour... ABsolutely gorgeous and decadent (while still retaining some semblance of healthiness!) I adore crisps and made a lovely apple & blackberry one the other night. Now, if only I could get around to posting it...!
